Poetry Threads

[jay]

I wasn't sure where to put this. I have an idea for something new for this messageboard. Is anybody here a songwriter/ poetry writer? Why not start making individual threads posting our writings? I, for one, have accumulated a lot of poetry since last June that I need to get some feedback on. ;D

Put them right here!

My major in college was English/Creative Writing--Poetry Emphasis....but honestly, I haven't written anything since last year.

Seriously, it has been a *long* while....but I'd love to read things!

Here's the first poem I ever tried to write, in March of last year. Don't laugh! It goes like this:

Oh wonderous, magical star filled night,
My heart bleeds, filled with fright,
I need you by me, to shine your mystical light,
Please subside, my tears tonight.

[Aba21]

When I was growing up, this was my favorite "poem":

In the brightest day, in the blackest night
No evil shall escape my sight
let those who worship evil's might
Beware my power, Green Lantern's Light!............ ;D

[jay]

Here's another one...it doesn't have a title yet though:

Forgotten Promises, Broken Schemes, forever cloud my head,
Naive Goals, Thoughts, and Plans, force the pain and dread.

Wisdom and Strength guide me, keep me positive inside,
The Gift of Love and Emotion, break the shackles from my mind.

And so I'm telling you this story, a little Hope and Peace of Mind,
Courage and Honesty of the Heart, is what keeps you alive.

Here is one I wrote in like.....2 minutes. It was a poetry contest, and I thought, "What the hey!" (I know those are crocks of manure anyway..... but it was fun dusting off the ol' noggin. Haven't written since college.)

Sleep Won't Come

...though I hold it close
in my hands
like a feather.
Sleep won't come
...though it laughs in
circles
like a mocking dream.
Sleep won't come
...when I squint my eyes
picturing black
and seeing nothing.
Sleep won't come
...even as it hums like a
steady drone in my mind.
Sleep won't come
...until these visions
cease.

All nice, nice poems. Very beautiful!!
I've got a couple for ya. Here's the story first: My best friend liked this girl that we worked with. Her name is Krystin, and she has a 1yr old son, Bryson. However, her baby daddy treated her awful, and was not a good person at all, so my friend would treat her right and all, and then they finally hooked up. Then her friends that we work with didn't want my friend and Krystin to hook up, so they started to spread rumors and lies about him, so she broke it off with him, but they still talked. So this first poem was to help him get her back:

Krystin, when I look in your eyes
It just tears me all up inside.
No longer is your soft, sweet voice in my ears,
No longer do I have someone to share my dreams and fears.
I can’t feel the pleasure of your hand in mine,
I can’t feel your lips on my cheek.
Our love got better with time, just like a fine wine,
Right now I feel so low, lesser than the meek.
I’d give my soul, just to have you to hold,
I’d give my life, just to have you be my wife.
Krystin, I have everlasting love for you and Bryson,
If you wished, I’d beat anyone like Mike Tyson.
I’d never ever hurt you or make you cry,
When you’re not by my side, I wanna lay down and die.
Any pain or torture you must endure,
I will suffer for you, because my love is pure.
Krystin, you’re the answer to all my prayers,
You’re my angel, sent from God above.
Krystin, you’ll see my heart and soul, when you look in my eyes,
The things you’ve heard about me, are just rumors and lies.
Please Krystin, le me hold you in my arms,
Give me a chance, to show you my charm.
Please Krystin, I beg you, promise you my heart,
Please give me a second chance, from you, I can’t stand to part.

Then he gave it to her, and she took him back, and then I wrote this poem to help seal the deal for him:

I Love …

I love the way the sun glistens off your hair
I love how you look like a soft, cute, cuddly teddy bear
I love seeing that twinkle in your eye
I love the way you call me your guy
I love your fashionable sense of style
I love how I think about you all the while
I love how you give people a second chance
I love how smooth you are when you dance
I love how caring and radiant you are
I love that I feel your presence, even when you’re afar
I love how your beautiful smile can light up a room
I love how when you’re in my life, there is no gloom
I love how you make a cold, dreary day sunny and bright
I love that I can’t wait to go with you and Bryson to fly a kite
I love how you always put your family first
I love how I dream about us playing doctor and nurse
I love the way you’ve touched me down deep in my soul
I love how with you, I yearn to grow old
I love how with each passing day, I care for you more
I love that when we kiss, I feel the love I’ve been searching for.
I love how I pray for you to feel the same way too
But Krystin, most important of all, I JUST LOVE YOU!!!

Yepp, but before they had hooked up the first time, she and her baby daddy sometime engaged in ummm....certain activities, and just when she and my friend got cool again, she found out she was pregnant, and my friend didn't want nothing to do with that really, but he was still going to stay with her, he just needed some time to think, and during the time, she went out and got an abortion because she thought he'd stay with her, and after she told him, he dumped her, and hasn't talked to her since. He's a Christian so he don't believe in that.
